Day 93.

My family church rents the building of an American church and today the English congregation needed the building right after our service so my mom invited everyone over to our house for lunch and just to hang out. I really like and really dislike having people over. Growing up, my mom would always invite people over. She would clean the house and cook loads of yum in yo tum food. As a kid I didn't like the cleaning and the helping with the cooking, but it was fun having friends over. Watching my mom be so hospitable has helped me want to do the same..but that doesn't always happen haha. I don't like the cleaning up before and after part and I get agitated when people don't even bother helping. I really do enjoy helping my mom cause she's always so appreciative so I was helping her today and I started getting annoyed cause everyone else would just watch/get in the way or just start racking up their plates ready to eat without offering to help. As I was bussing soups out of the kitchen I noticed that my forehead was all crunched up and I had my angry eyebrows on. It got really crowded by the kitchen and so I would shove my way out shouting "MOVE MOVE!" Then I remembered something I read.."The key to friendship with God, he said, is not changing what you do, but changing your attitude toward what you do." We can worship God by meeting Him in whatever we do and by doing it joyfully. It's for Him. So that helped me shift my focus/attitude and it was easier to serve in a cheerful manner.

HAHA.
